Honestly that's a really nice contract for us. 5.5-6.5 Mil for an league average RT is gonna be a bargain in a couple years. If he doesn't play well we can cut him for nothing after year 2.
I love that we never get locked into bad long term deals.

Reiff, Boone and Remmers are nothing special. Will they be good enough to help push us back into the playoffs?

Real talent in on the DLs ... just from a physical/training standpoint, the DL has the advantage over the OL. Thats why it appears OL talent has reduced in recent years, but rather the DL talent has just continued increasing (compared to OL). Other then a couple good ones, that we can't acquire, everyone else is either average (we have 3-4 average guys now starting) or straight bad.

Last year for most of the year it was 3 bad [LT/Fusco/Clemmings] + 2 average.
Right now its 4 average [Reiff/Boone/Remmers/Berger] + 1 bad ["RG"]

I'm hoping we can draft a C/RG would comes in and is at least average (if he ends up being good its a huge gain)_________________

I'm just excited that both Reiff and Remmers are good run blockers. We need to get back to having an OL that can make something happen on the ground. Actually having a running game will be a huge boost to the offense. I hope we draft a mauling RG to pair with Remmers._________________

It's huge. Zimmers defense needs to have an offense that can control the T.O.P. If we can, we usually can come out winning the games.

Our defense is good, but we can't depend on them to make a stop every time they go out there.

I really hope we just do something to improve in the redzone. Another key factor in going after Alshon and Pryor._________________“Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”

We are in a nice situation because of the versatility of Remmers and even Reiff. If we are in a situation where one of these guys like Bolles, Robinson, Ram, Garcia, or Moton may be around at 48 we can draft them and look for that mid round guard type. Someone goes in at least me have depth and the ability to put in the guy who is "most ready" and move these new guys around._________________“Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”
